A whiteboard for me to work out a more complete & explicit set of instructions for building GnomeSword in MinGW

Set up MinGW/MSYS

• Download MinGW from the following URL, run the installer, select Candidate, then select the base system plus g++

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780

• Download MSYS from the following URL (using the current release installer, not the tech preview) and do a default install (type y, y, c:/mingw during the post-install setup)

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=24963

• Download msysDTK from the following URL and do a default install

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?modtime=1041430674&big_mirror=1

• Download m4-1.4.7-MSYS from the following URL and extract m4.exe to c:/msys/bin

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2?modtime=1162303978&big_mirror=1

• Open an MSYS terminal window (using the icon on your desktop, for example)
• Download, build, and install recent versions of autoconf, automake, and libtool:

curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.63.tar.gz
tar zxfv autoconf-2.63.tar.gz
./autoconf-2.63/configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install

curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.6.tar.gz
tar zxfv automake-1.9.6.tar.gz
./automake-1.9.6/configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install

curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz
tar zxfv libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz
./libtool-2.2.6a/configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install

• Download SVN:

http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/44095/svn-win32-1.5.4.zip

• Unzip svn-win32-1.5.4 to C:\msys\1.0\local

Setting up required libraries

For all following instructions, when you run configure do it with --prefix=/mingw

• install gnome versions of utilities

     http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/

create a directory c:\msys\1.0\dev

add it to your path (in profile)

unpack everything there

you need at this point:

 pkg-config: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config-0.23-2.zip
 gettext: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-0.14.5.zip
 gettext-dev: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-dev-0.14.5.zip
 gettext-runtime: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-runtime-0.17.zip
 gettext-runtime-dev: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-runtime-dev-0.17.zip

• add this line to your profile

     export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/dev/lib/pkgconfig

• install libcurl

     http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
     (direct linke) http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/win32/curl-7.19.0-devel-mingw32.zip
     find curl-config script from linux and copy it to /mingw/bin

• compile sword-1.5.11 from source

     with libcurl is easier than ftplib
     you will have to manually alter makefile to link against regex

• download gnomesword 2.4.1
• download lots of gnome libs and unpack them in dev

     for everything, you need the normal and developer package
     atk, cairo, fontconfig, freetype, gail, gconf, glib, gnome-common, gnome-doc-utils, gnome-vfs,
     goocanvas, gtk+, gtkhtml-3.18, intltool, libart, libbonobo, libbonoboui, libbzip, libffi, 
     libglade, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, libgnome, libgnomeprint, libgnomeprintui, libgnomeui,
     libiconv, libIDL, libpng, libxml2, ORBIT, popt, pthreads, zlib, pango
     For these 2, you only need the binaries:
     expat, gnurx

• alter configure script to allow compilation without scrollkeeper
• apply linux/windows diff

     hopefully most will be unnecessary soon
     mailed to gnomesword-developers

• run configure with --enable-gtkhtml --disable-scrollkeeper --prefix=/mingw
• make

     you will have to alter the makefile in libs to link against libcurl.dll (-lcurl doesn't work)

• make install
• run gnomesword

• getting gnomesword free from mingw is another topic.

• Windows XP look

To get the windows XP look, go to /dev/share/themes/MS-Windows/gtk-2.0 copy gtkrc to /dev/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
